11、ith a simulated meteor shower.For older trainees,a few space camps have created simulations for future missions,including a mission to Mars.Campers repair a model of the Hubble Telescope during a simulation.4Introduction:From Space Camp to SpaceIn 1990,sixth grader Kate Rubins went off to camp.The c

14、like simulations.One mission has participants launch the shuttle.They fly it to the International Space Station and then dock with the ISS.Team members perform their own duties,but they must also talk with each other on their headsets.Some trainees work as astronauts.Others work in Mission Control,t

16、.On board was a fresh crew for the International Space Station(ISS),orbiting more than 322 kilometers(200 mi.)above Earth.One of the astronauts on that rocket was Dr.Kate Rubins,the same person who had attended the camp in 1990 when she was a sixth-grader.For years she had worked as a scientist.Then
17、 she trained to be an astronaut with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA).Finally,she was blasting off to serve on a four-month mission on the ISS.She had fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut and flying into space.Takuya Onishi,Anatoly Ivanishin,and Kate Rubins f

19、sure.The G-Force Accelerator is a spinning ride.It spins quickly,creating a pressure that pushes against the body.It creates the same amount of force astronauts feel during a rocket launch.The Space Shot shoots riders 42.7 meters(140 ft.)high in 2.5 seconds.6Space Camps Around the WorldSpace camps a
20、llow young people to learn about space science.Programs teach about the history of space exploration.Some projects focus on rockets and the machines used in space.Campers also go through some astronaut training.They try out equipment astronauts use to prepare for their missions.Today,space camps hav
21、e taken off in many places.One camp is at the United States Space and Rocket Center located in Huntsville,Alabama.There,space camp trainees can see giant rockets and space capsulesthe spacecraft astronauts fly in.More than 750,000 trainees have attended that space camp since it opened in 1982.They h
22、ave come from all fifty states in the United States and more than sixty other countries.The Pathfinder is a model of a space shuttle that is on permanent display near the space camp in Alabama.11The 1/6 Gravity ChairThis simulator lets trainees jump around as if they were walking on the Moon.There,g
23、ravity is one-sixth that of Earth.The simulator helps trainees get used to moving around when they feel much lighter than normal.The 1/6 Gravity Chair is modeled after a similar chair astronauts used for moonwalk training.Math MinuteIf a person weighs 27 kilograms(59.5 lb.)on Earth,how much would th

25、sociation hosts several summer day camps.They even have space-related programs for children as young as kindergarten age.Space camps are also popular around the globe.In Canada,the Cosmodome hosts three-day camps and other programs.Space Camp Turkey is located in Izmir,one of Turkeys biggest cities.

27、e Camp Level S10Astronaut TrainingMany space camps have simulators for campers to try.These pieces of equipment help astronauts train for their missions.Astronauts must practice for every situation they might deal with in space.For trainees,simulators let them experience some of the same challenges.
28、While trainees are on the simulators,an adult always watches them for safety.The Multi-Axis TrainerThe Multi-Axis Trainer(MAT)lets astronauts practice regaining command of a spaceship that is tumbling out of control.It is made of two big metal rings that spin and flip.The trainee is strapped in a se
29、at in the center ring.The two rings then move wildly in different directions.The MAT is designed so that trainees should not become nauseated or dizzy while riding.8Going to Space CampSpace camps are available to nearly everyone.At some camps,younger kids go with their family.Camps for older kids ar
30、e grouped by age.Some space camps hold sessions for trainees with visual and hearing impairments.Space camps mostly concentrate on space history and science.At many of these camps,trainees study rocketry.They build and launch their own model rockets.At others,they research spacecraft construction be
31、fore designing their own spaceship.9Space camps about robotics are also popular.Robotics is an important part of space exploration.Rovers that have explored Mars are good examples.Robotics trainees build robots and program them to do tasks.Teams may face off in a robotics competition at the end of c
32、amp.Children arent having all the fun,though.Many space camps host adults from around the world.Some science teachers attend so they can bring new lessons back to their schools to teach future space explorers.A NASA astronaut and educator test-drives a robotic rover built in a space camp program.Space Camp Level S
